I enjoyed this book so much. The description and way of writing was breathtaking and the characters were a piece of art. This book was a true masterpiece.

What I truly loved were the characters. I felt such empathy for Kyra, and felt like crying and screaming at the same time when I imagined what she must be going through. The book was very touching for me, and it just makes you think about the things you take for granted. I felt her anger and resentment towards her stepdad and stepbrother, and the feeling of betrayal when her mother didn't believe her. I felt hatred towards Cat and Austin and love towards Tyler. Kyra's emotions were just so easy to understand, it was like she was another half of me.

And Tyler just stole my heart. If you had to think of the perfect boyfriend, he would be it. It was so hard when he was dying, and it felt like I knew him.

I don't really think I can think of any cons about this book, unless you are kind of squeamish and don't like diseases to be described (I don't like that either, but I was fine). Also, there was quite a lot of cussing in this book, but I think that kind of added character, since most teenagers I know cuss a little, and it made them seem down to earth. I don't even particularly enjoy Sci-Fi, and yet I loved this book!

I can't wait to read the next book, and meet up with the characters (who feel like my friends as this point). I defiantly recommend this book.

Hardcover (edit)
review This was a good book. a plot that has some similarities to the flight of the navigator. A teenage girl disappears for five years and returns the same age as when she left. my only complaint was that after a slow build up all the main action takes place in the last few chapters the leaves you hanging for the second book in the series. Also I know Kyra had been thru much emotional distress but she was a bit horrible to her family

The beginning of what has the potential to be Kimberly Derting's best series yet. Kyra's attempts to figure out where she fits into a world where everyone else has moved on without her, while trying to figure out what happened to her the night she disappeared and in the five years since, are woven together effortlessly. The first half of the book drags a little as Kyra settles back in, but the last half really picks up, and hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the series.
